Your Audience at Your Fingertips<br />
Bringing live video to wider audiences has never been easier. Introducing TouchStream, the revolutionary,<br />
portable live video and audio streaming appliance. TouchStream systems combine Digital Rapids’ renowned live<br />
streaming quality and reliability with the most intuitive human interface – touch – in a fully self-contained,<br />
easy-to-deploy appliance form factor.<br />
Ideal for professional media streaming in the field, on a desktop<br />
or in a rack, TouchStream appliances offer unparalleled<br />
ease-of-use. Software controls are accessed through a vivid,<br />
streamlined touch-screen interface with integrated live video<br />
monitoring and VU meters for audio validation, eliminating the<br />
need for laptops, keyboards, mice and separate monitors.<br />
TouchStream was developed to overcome the challenges often<br />
encountered in live environments – from physical space<br />
limitations to minimal setup time. TouchStream appliances<br />
were also designed for quiet operation, allowing them to be<br />
used unobtrusively in noise-sensitive environments.<br />
TouchStream appliances are ideal for on-location live streaming of events such as concerts and sporting<br />
matches; remote news coverage; courtroom proceedings; PEG (public, education and government)<br />
applications; corporate communications; worship and more. Application-targeted models let you choose the<br />
right configuration for your format needs, from Flash, Silverlight and QuickTime® (Darwin server) powered<br />
web experiences to IPTV set-top boxes and mobile phones.<br />
Unparalleled Streaming Quality<br />
Though easy enough for use by novice operators, TouchStream systems are powerful enough to meet the<br />
demanding expectations of experienced streaming media users. TouchStream units feature the same<br />
exceptional, full-resolution output quality and efficient bandwidth utilization that have made Digital Rapids’<br />
StreamZ and StreamZ Live studio encoding and streaming systems the preferred choice of leading studios,<br />
broadcast networks and service providers.<br />
This superior quality starts with Digital Rapids’ acclaimed video preprocessing capabilities, including advanced<br />
de-interlacing with pixel-level motion adaptation, scaling and filtering. <strong>Video</strong> noise reduction minimizes the noise in<br />
your video caused by issues such as low lighting that are often uncontrollable in on-location environments, and can<br />
greatly impact compression quality. Additional features including audio controls, picture controls and graphic overlay<br />
let you refine the incoming source and add branding such as a logo to the outgoing stream.<br />
Portable Perfection is Within Your Reach<br />
Portable live streaming will never be the same again. TouchStream delivers quality,<br />
reliability, flexibility and ease of use – all the attributes of the ideal live streaming<br />
appliance – right at your fingertips.<br />
